RULE 1-046. PRESERVING QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW

Formal exceptions to rulings or orders of the court are unnecessary. It is sufficient that a party, at the time the ruling or order of the court is made or sought, makes known to the court the action which he desires the court to take or his objection to the action of the court and his grounds therefor; and if a party has no opportunity to object to a ruling or order at the time it is made the absence of an objection does not thereafter prejudice him. It shall not be necessary to file a motion for a new trial in order to preserve for review errors called to the attention of the trial court under this rule.

This rule applies to all causes, whether tried before a jury or to the court without a jury.
